Going through the thread, I found that alot of contributions has been made to remove Op's doubt. Still, they're multiple means to determine the legitimacy of an online casino, which this forum is also a better place to discover genuine online casinos. However, most of the members may not have been used by the entire forum users that's where casino review sites helps newbies or new users of a specific casino to know what actually happens in the casino before playing on the casino. You can check for user complaints too, anywhere even on the site or off the site. Casinomeister is also a better place to research for any online casino that you don't feel comfortable with the reviews you got from this forum.

For a start, they can invest the $30 to observe how the market works, then move ahead to put in more funds into their wallet. I don't see anything wrong if the person feels like $30 is a spare fund for him, it's fine, he won't be sad if he losses it all, so I'll recommend you to advise him to invest more if he feels that his $30 investment wasn't a waste.
2163  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has a bad reputation (we should fix it) on: April 19, 2023, 08:21:32 AM
bitcoin doesn't have a bad reputation completely, it's a relief that those bad operators of bitcoin can get apprehended by security agencies. Like Pooya87, suggested it'll be difficult to have a currency that segregates criminals from genuine people. It was meant for victim to stay wise and be able to avoid scammers once they dictate them. If many bitcoin scam victims, which is also a bad reputation for Bitcoin, joined the forum or researched thoroughly about Bitcoin and what works and what doesn't work they wouldn't fall for some cheap scam threats. Once a person recommends a scam exchange to me I'll know immediately because it doesn't look real in the eye and also it's not popularly known in the market. And for the top brands in bitcoin that folds with lots of people's money, it's also a criterion to consider in the Bitcoin market, it has chased lots of investors away from the market. Hence, not everyone experience this hardship or disputes. That's why the market still grows, we need more people to understand the market, at least to reduce scam. But, for the illicit transaction going on the darkweb I don't think it can get terminated. Currency is used by both the good and bad.

Maybe he just made it up to correct the OP kinda sarcastic reply. But looking into it, he could have mistaken billion to trillion, yet it's not achievable with the price rate of bitcoin mentioned on his comment.

It doesn't look as a sarcasm to me. And anyway, even if he wanted to say billion, his argument doesn't work either. A x2 does not turn a million into a billion, but into two million, as I explained before. All it would do is make his argument seem a little less crazy, of a lower order of magnitude, but it doesn't hold up anywhere.
It's under his jurisdiction to determine what he meant by that, not on his side, yet it's his opinion. You are right the digits there doesn't seem right in anyway, which is another reason why I tagged it sarcastic. It's rare to see such a number written out of pure auguement, as the writer should be away that his comment and digits are not feasible even without any mathematical knowledge or background.

A good tip Op, it's also important to go into an exchange like Kucoin, which I used in the past and stopped using them because of it's fee on BTC network. Kucoin accepts BTC segwit that is a wallet that starts with 'bc" and BTC form; a wallet address that starts with 3. And these two available networks has a network fee of $15 and minimum withdrawal of 0.0008btc and 0.001btc respectively, according to coinmarketcapfees. It's not advisable to use any other network except the btc networks, don't use the KCC network because the network fee is less "$0.6", you won't see your funds. It only supports 0x addresses; for ethereum network. Same is applicable to any exchange, only use the bitcoin network option to send funds. If you wish to escape high fees on Kucoin then you'll have to convert your funds to eth and use the KCC network and send to a metamask wallet where you can configure the wallet to support KCC network then look for a person that uses KCC network wallet or get a network bridge to transfer the funds back to a BTC network. If you can't pass through such process, for kucoin users, then you can pay the $15 network fee.

You'd need to read it at least 20+ times before it starts to stick in your head.
Psychological pressure is enough for that, I remember that when there are remain five minutes to finish the exam, I forget all information.
It sounds funny, but that doesn't have to do with the pressure, it's called a the doorway effect, that there's every tendency a person will forget half of everything they've read once they pass through the door of an examination hall, compared to when they're in their reading room. It happens to almost every student, and humans will need to relax and think to remember what is been stored in the brain.

Also if you watch tiktok, the chances of you remembering 12 words drops significantly (no joke).
The world is losing brain powers from watching most of these contents for long time on the internet that's why many are afraid of the institution of AI. Many people are losing their brain easily these days.

Thank God, I have not download TikTok since it was Musical.ly.

Lol, you could count a few of your kind in the wide world.
2167  Other / Meta / Re: This gets me worried, I think the 'Brains' in the forum should look into it on: April 18, 2023, 06:05:53 AM
What matters in every written content is it's value not the grammatical syntax, rhymes, idioms etc. Those are for entertainment purposes to keep the reader, but if a content is valuable to the reader he doesn't care about the rhymes anymore, he focuses on the information he wants to get from the piece of writing. Most of the top writers in the past who made contents that changed the world and passed relevant information, check the contents now with the said grammarly, you'll see lots of errors; passive words, bad syntax, etc. Yet the contents are valuable due to the secrets and deep knowledge readers can grasp from reading them. Grammarly shouldn't be a tool for a good writer, he doesn't need it to make good articles, because grammarly makes mistakes too, it's a bot as well. So, in the forum if you are using grammarly it should be for typo purposes not to make your article look good or changing of your sentences, as the previous sentence you made yourself can be of good readability to the reader than the one grammarly suggests. What matters is the message you are about to convey to the forum, and I don't think chatGBT can be able to craft a valuable content which has not be posted anywhere on the internet, it has no brain and can't be compared to the brain of a new born baby.
2168  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Always hide your forum email address after registration. on: April 18, 2023, 04:54:20 AM
I once thought about a single advantage of unveiling our email address on our profile page, except that it's also linked to our account and used for forgot password activity, guest of the forum who can't send pm can easily contact a member through their emails for business purposes. Supposing that the forum is filled with only cool headed people both guests, that would have been a good alternative means of contacting people. Since the disadvantages as Op advised outweighs the advantage it's important to hide the email and substitute it with our social media links, a space is made available for that too.
2169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC vs physical gold price potential on: April 18, 2023, 04:34:02 AM
So in terms of value 1 BTC is worth 10kgs of gold. But given that 10kgs of gold costs 650 000 dollars today and 1 BTC costs 30 000, BTC must be undervalued and still has a potential to 20x from here. So why would people buy gold as a hedge against inflation, when they can buy BTC that is undervalued by a factor of at least 20? I guess the answer lies in confidence and previous experience.

Is any of the above wrong?

In the case of gold, it seems quite plausible to me that the Bitcoin, being a kind of gold 2.0, a better digital gold, will absorb much of the market cap of gold, but will it absorb it all? I don't think so. You have to think that gold is used for jewelry and in industry, and you can't put satoshis to make a ring or electronic devices. This is why I see a better future for gold relative to bitcoin than paper maps vs. google maps.


I'd say that the gold used for jewelries and industries should be considered as altgolds like in bitcoin, as they can be resold at a cheaper rate, cheaper than the actual price of gold, in exchange of goods or money by the owner of the jewelry, depending on the amount of gold used for the production. However, it's almost impossible for bitcoin to absorb all the market cap of gold as gold is scarce and on demand too, almost similar qualities as bitcoin. Hence, the world can't move completely digital, we'll need the physical treasures to show off or run transactions. Even, many people will run to utilize gold than bitcoin for top confidential transactions, as everything digital cannot be considered a secret.
2170  Other / Meta / Re: why bitcointalk don't advertise anywhere. on: April 17, 2023, 05:26:51 AM
A forum like bitcointalk, OP, prefers backlinks to those kind of adverts. And the forum has gotten lots of organic backlinks from different top DA blogs from the history of bitcoin to the first bitcoin transaction in the forum. Lot of platforms has a link to this forum, so that's a good reason why it ranks on google and also drives more traffics. Even when people look up stake on google they can also find their bitcointalk ANN threads, which can also lead them to the forum, though not on the first page. As for other social media like Facebook, they started with referral; invite your friend to facebook. These days such platforms including this forum don't need to advertise on boards or social media to get their traffics, the contents here are so many and quality, google loves forums with good contents, that's why a good number of threads in this forum ranks on google first page.
2171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Number Of Bitcoin Millionaires Doubles In 2023 on: April 17, 2023, 04:33:13 AM
What!!?  Millionaires in Bitcoin are emerging with just $30+, so technically, if the price hits $60 or $70k, we will be talking about trillionaires, right?

It seems to me that mathematics is not your strong suit. If at the current price there are x number of millionaires, if the price doubles, they will not become trillionaires, which I doubt you know what that means, but instead of one million in fiat equivalent they will have two million. Another consequence is that those who at current prices have between half a million dollars and $999,999 will also become millionaires.

Think that a trillion is a million million, so multiplying a million by two is not even close.

Maybe he just made it up to correct the OP kinda sarcastic reply. But looking into it, he could have mistaken billion to trillion, yet it's not achievable with the price rate of bitcoin mentioned on his comment. Aside that, what OP said, I thought about and realized that many investor made profits out of the recent pump in price of bitcoin. Some bought at 16k, so the amount of bitcoin they bought has to do with the profits they'll realize. The bull run came earlier than expected, hoping it hangs around that amount or increases again, at least those who lost a lot of money in bitcoin during the bear market could regain from the losses.

You should count yourself lucky to find such a customer that wants to pay in Bitcoin. It's a rare opportunity if you knew more about bitcoin, if you are scared you can immediately convert the funds to your local currency and purchase all the materials required to carry out the task. But if the money is your salary and the company provides working materials for you then you need to get a hardware wallet to store the funds; this depends on the number of zeros or figures is your salary.
2173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Justin Sun sued by SEC. Effect on Bitcoin? on: April 15, 2023, 10:42:27 PM
Justin Sun did a massive promotion for the unauthorized tokens which made it sell out in millions, celebrities like Akon were penalized for promoting such a project. The market will always have such news, it's not new, we should be getting used to such ill information on top cryptocurrency business owners. I feel bad for the fine those celebrities paid, its not their fault to fall into such situation and promoting a project given to them by Justin sun, it may not have given them the slightest need to research the projects, the Government didn't do well about the penalty issued to the artists, so many cryptocurrency influencers did promote that same project, but it was not written anywhere in the article about paying a penalty, yet the famous ones were penalized for not informing the public that it's a sponsored promotion.

  I always wonder what happened to them, if they got filthy rich from bitcoin and just went off-grid or simply lost interest or something in between.  Anyway, for your own educational edification, do some digging into forum history.  It's gnarly!

I've read tweets of an old member of the forum who complained that he left because the forum was no longer filled with technical intellectuals. So many people must have done similar things as most threads then was in the tech and development boards and today that board is not as busy as it used to be in the past. Many of them now spend time on GitHub discussing new Bitcoin updates. Nothing fascinating about the forum to keep those early Bitcoin engineers and programmers to continue adding contents and discussions in the forum. Especially during the bounty hunting era many of them left the forum as people joined to make some bucks and returned unfurnished contents just to earn.
Somewhere in 2018 there was alot of spamming in the forum. I know so many of us that gave the forum break and later returned but some found some other things for their time and did not return.
But it is normal, we cannot continue to be here. At a time we will give way for new fucks to join the bandwagon and as the times goes the standard and urge to participate diminishes.

Do not forget to add that some many some regrettable mistakes with money and bitcoin and visiting this forum would freshen their wound of regret. So it is better they avoided here totally.

Though according to a thread on the meta board about the yearly traffics in the forum, 2018 had the highest traffics if I could vividly remember. Why did a lot of people get interested in the forum at that particular year? Some may attribute it to the increase in price of bitcoin in 2017, but they've been such an increase in 2021 yet the forum wasn't that busy. However, you made a right statement, we can't be here for long, people move ahead to find other things to do with their time, but many of these people still spend time online, why not come take a look and contribute at a go. In similar ways, I do go back to some old forums I've been using years back just to look around, even if I don't add posts there. I believe your last line is the main reason those who don't come to visit at all decided to keep it that way.

Izzy has removed the doubt of many who thought he can't win Pereira in this game. Glad to see the joy in his face when he knocked his opponent to the floor. Like the OP said, a whole lot of fans supported Izzy to win the game. Though it would have been a shame if he lost this match to Periera, his fans would have made fun out of Izzy. Izzy is strong contendant and knows TKO well enough, he'll bounce back stronger.
2177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Life is good with 250 units of bitcoin; early opp. on: April 13, 2023, 12:47:24 PM
No matter how early its always too late to regret. You only feel bad because they're your friends and its bitter they told you to join them, and you declined, is it why you can't meet them to discuss new ideas with the funds they've made out of Bitcoin? Listen, OP, life moves and it's left for you to figure out a way to earn more through cryptocurrency. A lot of things to do on the internet, which if you focus on doing them you may not be bothered about the furtunes your friends made using Bitcoin. You can earn Bitcoin from selling or reselling a service. Given time you'll bounce up and gain more BTC and profits. Although the difficult thing about opportunity is knowing the right one, even now, some opportunities are sitting close to you and staring at you to utilize them, and you may not be able to figure them out until someone else does that for you and you'll end up regretting again.

2179  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Set your mind on your goals and nothing else on: April 13, 2023, 12:12:41 PM
Everyone seems to have a goal and a target in life,but everyone cannot end up being thesame in terms of how successful they would be.I believe everyone has destiny,but the effort individual put towards making that destiny a reality is what makes the difference.Some persons are born with a silver spoon,while some were not born into a wealthy background, therefore,before they will get to a certain height,or before they can be financially stable,they must work so hard,and do everything possible to be at the top,knowing very well that they weren't born with a silver spoon.

I belong to that category,who must work so hard to get to the height I want,in order for my dreams to be materialised,I put a set target for my self every year,and try my possible best to meet that target.This is what I've been doing,and I am happy the little way I am now,and with my progress so far,I know the future has the best for me.

Have you also thought about a world where the last to laugh, laughs the best. Those birthed with a silver spoon most often don't outsmart a determined person who wants to succeed in an industry but was born in an average home. It all depends on the tool each person works with, hand, brain or the both. An idea can't be bought with money except the person who has the idea wants to share and sell the idea. Hence the focus is for both the rich and broke, though it could be harder for the broke person yet it's an open market. The person with the most focus and tactics would win in the industry and top the industry. We all have to come up with ideas that'll get us to the top and as well outsmart our competitors. No matter how long it took for the dream to be achieved what matters is that it'll come to be real, that's the joy of a determined person regardless of their background.
